most religions could be crossed off the list of "possibly correct". i wont say its because they are farfetched because you could argue that the resurrection of Christ is farfetched..which wouldnt get anybody anywhere.

id say look at the the codes of life in these religions,look at the god in each of these religions and ask yourself if you can honestly believe that there is a six-armed woman or a god (alla ..ala?) who cares nothing about his creation or a (G)od that gives each of us the option to live as we want or one that simply asks you to cherish the earth you live on and its creatures or whatever...

look closely at the kind of life each one asks you to live..the "laws" so to speak..the code...or whatever..

sorry i cant gather all of my thoughts on this topic at this moment..

in my opinion atheism is the only guarantee in which at the end of your life you suffer reprocussions for no belief at all....because....i believe that its no accident that we are what we are by chance...we are superior to every living creature on this planet and if there is no God then i believe maybe guinea pigs or komodo dragons would be able to speak or reach the moon and so on....there would be no reason scientifically(or darwinistically) why we are the only ones who evolved into what we are now..where would the advantage have come from?


id venture to say that there should be no atheists and that we should all choose a higher power to believe in that way we're not throwing away our only chance for an eternal life of happiness.

dont twist what im saying i dont value any person less than another just because their beliefs are different than mine..i do not think im better in any way..i just think that most atheists (not all) are atheists because they couldnt find truth in any religion they saw..which is a valid reason if they actually gave everything they had in order to search for these truths (or proofs)...i think the first mistake you can make as an atheist is to seek these truths using intellect rather than your heart....after all...what does intelligence have to do with religion in the first place?

if you are searching, then search...truly search...dont use your brain use your heart and hopefully the decision you make will be the right one whatever it may be..
